CHAPTER V
101/135

Dupuytren gives an example in a boy of thirteen, in whom was found a fetus.

Gaetano-Nocito, cited by Philipeaux, has the history of a taken with a great pain in the right hypochondrium, and from which issued subsequently fetal bones and a mass of macerated embryo.

His mother had had several double pregnancies, and from the length of the respective tibiae one of the fetuses seemed to be of two months' and the other of three months' intrauterine life.

The man died five years after the abscess had burst spontaneously.
Brodie speaks of a case in which fetal remains were taken from the abdomen of a girl of two and one-half years.

Gaither describes a child of two years and nine months, supposed to be affected with ascites, who died three hours after the physician's arrival.
